How a job in Falmouth works
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating.
Select
The right width, air velocity and heat source are chosen.
Install
The unit is mounted and connected to power, water or refrigerant. We keep work areas in Falmouth screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Before you book in Falmouth
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Working hours
Most Falmouth businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Typical premises in Falmouth
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
